We’re starting to see the BlackBerry Curve 8520 appear on display showcases now, rather than just back shelves until the release date.  A few days ago, the devices were stocked up silently in the back of AT&T retail stores.  Now the device is being displayed out with the rest of the Berry family so open and publicly.  The folks over at CrackBerry spotted that the 8520 is also available on the AT&T website as well which starts to ring up some baffling questions.  So any way, the device has quite a great launch as you won’t have to wait for prices to go down!  That’s right, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is being offered for FREE after a mail-in rebate.  So the up front costs? Dish out $100 to the sales rep at AT&T and you will be handed a mail-in rebate form.  We asked the reps if any of the 15 devices came in different colors, but it looks like black is the color of the moment for now.
